Dr. Paul Christo answers the question: 'What Are Nerve Conduction Studies?' — -- Question: What Are Nerve Conduction Studies And How Do I Know If I Need One? Answer: Nerve conduction studies ...

THAT nerve proteins may take an active role during nerve impulse propagation has been proposed in many publications 1. In a paper, now in the press, I have suggested that a small fraction of the nerve ...

The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, which are the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. This sheath is composed of ...

UNTIL Prof. Kato had contributed this most important monograph to the study of the nervous system, it had been held generally that a nerve impulse passing through a length of nerve which had been ...
